350 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The five-story, 1920 residential building at 350 East 78th Street in the Upper East Side, currently owned by 350 East 78th Tenants Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in April 2023, which was promptly addressed and closed.

The property has faced recurring rodent-related challenges, with multiple reports between 2021-2023 indicating rat activity, including two recent inspections in 2023 (January and March) showing active rodent presence. While the building passed several rodent inspections between 2019-2021, the pattern of activity suggests an ongoing pest control challenge. The building's record also shows persistent administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance.

Violations were noted in inspection years 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings for 2022-2024 indicate no infested units were reported during the specified periods. This discrepancy points to potential oversight in reporting requirements, despite no actual infestations occurring during the periods in question. While the building has successfully addressed specific complaints as they arise, such as the heat emergency in 2023, the recurring nature of both rodent activity and bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent building-wide standards.
